| Mansur Gate |
Meknes is a city in northern Morocco. It’s known for its imperial
past, with remnants including Bab Mansour, a huge gate with arches and
mosaic tiling. The gate leads into the former imperial city. The
Mausoleum of Sultan Moulay Ismail, who made the city his capital in the
17th century, has courtyards and fountains.
Meknes was a lively Jewish center until its Jewish inhabitants made aliyah with the founding of the State of Israel
